proposed new dwellings from Waterfront Vicinity to Waterfront Vidnity-Exception Forty-Five-holding (WV-E45-h). Removal of the holding symbol will require a by-law of Council when it is satisfied that the abovenoted conditions have been met.
If a person or public body does not make an oral submission at this public meeting or make a
written submission before the by-law is passed, they are not entitled to appeal the Township's

Note:
The New OPP model will have a direct impact on property owners. They will pay
on average an additional increase of $47.58 per year on property taxes to cover
the added cost of OPP coverage in Whitewater Region.
The New OPP model will have a direct cost of an additional $176,372 that council
will need to budget for the 2016 year
(approx 4.272% increase in tax rate based
on 2015 budget)
There will no longer be a reconciliation amount for the 2016 billings. (We received
a reconciliation for 2014 in the amount of $53,035 in the 2015 year).
Each month for the 2016 year, the Township will pay $79,326 towards policing.
New billing model is split between base cost (60%) and calls for service (40%).
the calls for services is what we should be concerned about. We will be billed for each ttne
an officer is in the Whitewater Region area.

Council:
Westmeath has formed a committee to help en= sure
that we have a voice to provide feedback to the School
Board to let th= em know that we do not support this
proposal. It is a significant decision= that needs more
than 45 days of public deliberation and the
repercussions = of a closure go well beyond a school

the school board to receive input from not only the
committee and resident= s of our community but from
the key leaders within our business community, = the
Township, the County, and our MPP. Rural
communities are important par= ts of our county and
province and need to be to invested in, not further rc=

We would like to propose that t= he Whitewater

from Council:
- support our committee by providing a Councillor to

options that include retaining WPS as a integ= ral part

Township of Whitewater Region

PO Box 40
Dear Ms. FitzSimons,
On February 23, 2016, Trustees with the Renfrew County District School Board (RCDSB)
approved a motion to move forward with a Modified Accommodation Review of Westmeath
Public School.
A Modified Pupil Accommodation Review is a community consultation process required by
the Ministry of Education where a school facing changing demographics and enrolment is
required to review its programming and facility condition. It is governed by prescribed Ministry
timelines and follow a Board approved policy and process.
As part of our Long Term Accommodation Plan process, we regularly record the current state
of our elementary and secondary school sites by forecasting and plotting growth trends,
reviewing the school’s structure and programs and examining historic and projected
enrolment as well as facility utilization rates.
As a result of this work, Westmeath Public School has been identified as a school with low
enrolment and low facility utilization rates (enrolment and facility utilization information can be
found in the attached report).
I want to assure you that a decision has not yet been made regarding the future of
Westmeath Public School.
A community consultation process is scheduled for April 14 and parents and community
members - including the Township - are encouraged to provide feedback on the proposed
accommodation option contained in the Initial Staff Report. A time and location will be
provided to you in the coming weeks.
Feedback captured during this session will be included in a Final Staff Report that will be
made public when it is presented to the Board of Trustees on April 29. Subsequent to that,

interested groups and individuals will have an opportunity to present before a special board
meeting on May 16. A final decision on the future of Westmeath Public School will be made
by the Board of Trustees on May 31.
If a decision is made to proceed with a consolidation, students will be moved into Beachburg
Public School in time for the 2016 school year.
At any point in this process, you will find information on our website (www.rcdsb.ca). You may
also follow for updates at @RCDSB and our Facebook page or send an email to
[email protected].
I want to reinforce that feedback is a key component of the Modified Pupil Accommodation
Review process. The Board encourages all parents and community members to learn about
the process, stay informed, ask questions and provide feedback.
We hope that you may provide some valuable insights.
If there are questions or additional information required please do not hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely,
Roger Clarke
Director of Education

Department: Environmental Services
Meeting Date: March 23rd, 2016
Agenda Item: Yellow Bag Alternative
Yellow Bag Alternative – Further Analysis
March 2, 2016 Council in Committee: Be it resolved that the Environmental Services
Department of the Township of Whitewater Region recommends to Council to consider
the notion of substituting the current curbside yellow bag purchase program to a two (2)
bag per week limit with collection cost recovery through tax levy.
RECOMMENDATION:
As requested from the March 2nd, 2016 Environmental Services Committee Meeting, the
Department offers this follow-up to the suggested alternative to the yellow bag program
for curbside waste collection for consideration.
Acknowledging all of the comments / concerns that have been brought forth, the
Environmental Services Department recommends to Council, at this time, to put this
issue aside until further detailed discussion and consideration can take place.
BACKGROUND:
Following the March 2nd, 2016 Environmental Services Committee Meeting, the
Department was tasked with analyzing and suggesting a levy of sorts to cover lost
revenue of yellow bag sales if an alternative to the yellow bag program was initiated.
Also, to determine a proposed transition time for such an alternative to be brought into
effect.
ANALYSIS:
If substituting the yellow bag purchase program to an alternative such as a residential
two (2) bag limit per week (any colour bag purchased at a retailer of choice) with the
current weight restriction (20 kg, or 44 lbs per bag) implied, the Corporation would lose
the revenue generated from the sale of the yellow bags ($130,000 for 2015).
The annual curbside collection contract cost and purchase of the yellow bags have
always been covered in the Environmental Services annual budget. As such, the
Department has always viewed the revenue from the sale of yellow bags simply as an
amount collected that may offset the general waste budget or perhaps be put into
reserves. Simply put…the Department has not viewed or assumed that the revenue
from the sale of yellow bags is a direct amount that is to specifically cover the annual
contract cost as well as the purchase of the yellow bags. The Collection Contractor has
to travel the specific route each Monday – Thursday whether there are yellow bags
86
placed at curb or not, and following brief correspondence with the Contractor, it would
seem they are willing to collect a maximum of two (2) bags per household / stop (3,128
weekly stops in the Contract) with no alteration to the Contract other than amending the
wording.
Quite simply…the service of curbside collection has always been covered up-front
through the Department annual budget preparation ($119,470.83 per year for a period
of five (5) years)…as is the purchase of yellow bags ($10,000 + / -). From the
Departments perspective…the general tax levy imposed on a property has already
contributed to covering the annual collection cost and yellow bag supply.
One can argue otherwise as it is somewhat open to interpretation. The above reasoning
is likely not the methodology or approach that was intended when the program was
instituted. Therefore, it seems rational that yellow bag revenue is a result of a charge /
fee paid by a household for the service of curbside collection specific to the waste
generated by that household (pay for what they generate). And with that, it would also
seem reasonable that the revenue generated through the sale of yellow bags should be
allocated to indeed cover the cost of the collection contract and the up-front purchase of
bags for distribution. This being contrary to the above view from the Department.
Consideration:
If the Township doesn’t wish to lose the revenue source and also maintain the
foundation of the yellow bag program then perhaps it should be left alone. If
considering otherwise, then the Township must dismiss this revenue source or
replace it.
Requested Analysis (from March 2nd, 2016):
The alternative brought forth at the March 2nd, 2016 for Committee’s consideration was
imposing a maximum two (2) bags per week per household / stop. There are 3,128
stops in the Contract. Therefore spread the cost of annual collection contract and
purchase of bags over 3,128 households if the Township wishes to replace this revenue
source.
This equates to $41.39 per household. There is no doubt that if a system of two (2)
bags per household per week (any colour, purchased anywhere) is instituted…there will
be heavier utilization of curb-side collection. In this case, the Township may wish to
“buffer” the set rate of $41.39 per household per year. Perhaps by 25% ($51.73 per
household per year).
Seasonal households / stops would pay 25% of the annual set rate ($12.93 per
seasonal household per year). To determine the household count for the purposes of
Collection Contract each year, the practice has been to consider four (4) seasonal
households as one (1).
87
This new annual rate / levy would then substitute the once collected annual revenue of
yellow bag sales.
A reasonable time-frame to bring such a program change into place would be at
minimum six (6) months. This would offer time to get the message out to the public,
coordinate and cover all the administrative implications.

Revenue Analysis – 2013 & 2014 Historical
For Council’s consideration and understanding of typical revenue streams collected at the Ross
Waste Site as well as the sale of yellow bags, the following 2013 & 2014 revenue breakdown is
offered as an example:
2013
Yellow Bag Revenue from Curbside Collection = $119,386 (residential waste)
Tipping Fee Revenue = $251,915 (total) - $55,000 (contaminated soil) = $196,915
Of the $196,915 total for 2013…
$85,515 represents Commercial waste.
$111,400 represents Residential waste (those who choose to use the Waste Site and
pay as such). Remember, this amount represents those who bring one – two bags per
week (Wednesday or Saturday) as well as all other bulk loads of household materials.
On average 55% of the transactions at the Waste Site represents $6.00 or less (one or
two bags).
2014
Yellow Bag Revenue from Curbside Collection = $124,210 (residential waste)
Tipping Fee Revenue = $192,288
Of the $192,288 total for 2014…
$70,000 represents Commercial waste.
$122,288 represents Residential waste (those who choose to use the Waste Site and
pay as such). Remember, this amount represents those who bring one – two bags per
week (Wednesday or Saturday) as well as all other bulk loads of household materials.
On average 55% of the transactions at the Waste Site represents $6.00 or less (one or
two bags).
There will always be those who will choose to utilize the Landfill Site and will not take advantage
of curb-side collection. As stated, roughly 55% of all landfill site transactions represents those
bringing no more than one or two bags to the Site (choosing not to purchase yellow bags). The
other 45% of residential waste revenue generated at the Ross Site represents those
transactions / users bringing bulk material loads (may or may not include bags). If an alternative
to the yellow bag system is indeed instituted, the Department feels that there will without-adoubt be heavier usage of curbside collection. Many of the landfill site users will go to curbside collection.

Staff Performance Appraisals: I am currently working on
completing staff Performance Appraisals for 2015.
Bruce Beakley from Renfrew County gave staff a presentation
about "Goals & Objectives" and Performance Appraisals, on
October 23, 2015 so that we'd all have a better understanding of
this process and to make it as meaningful as possibleGoals being "where we want to be", objectives being "the steps
needed to get there".
After receiving staff input during Mr- Beakley's presentation,
Whitewater Region non-union staff Performance Appraisals are
now based on the County of Renfrew model, and include separate
Corporate, Departmental and Individual competencies.
I have identified 3 Corporate Competencies that apply to all nonunion staff for this process out of a list of 22. The entire list is
applicable to the corporation, but for the Performance Appraisal
process, I need to narrow the field down to 3 core Corporate
Competencies:
.
Client Service Orientation
.
Focus on Results
.
Professionalism
I ask that Council approve the 3 selected Corporate
Competencies as presented.

A.
New/Unfinished Business
1. Delegation: Jon Pitcher – Energy East Pipeline Project Update
Jon Pitcher presented Council with an updated slide presentation, at this time Council did have some
questions in which he will go back and ask and get back with answers. They are hopeful to have
construction started by 2018 and up and running in 2021.
5. PLANNING COMMITTEE (Chair Chris Olmstead)
B.
New/Unfinished Business
1. OPA #11 – Review & Moving Forward
The overall consensus on this is to have Brian Whitehead and Charles Cheesman attend a meeting so that
Council could ask questions. They want to be able to understand and be better educated before moving
forward.
6. CORPORATE SERVICES COMMITTEE (Chair Charlene Jackson)
C.
New/Unfinished Business
1. Sewer Budget
Marsha presented the Sewer Budget, at this time Council discussed a flat service rate for home owners that
go South, or rental properties that are vacant for a period of time. Councillor Jackson suggested keeping the
same rate but the bill would read differently, it would be the fee + delivery charge = the total of the bill.
Therefore anyone asking to have their water turned off it would be for a minimum three month period and
they would still have to pay the delivery charge as the sewer still it hooked up and needs to be maintained
whether they use it or not.
7. PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE (Chair Dave Mackay)
D.
New/Unfinished Business
1. Children at Play signage request
Council was not in favor of putting a sign up as the speed limit is 80 kilometers and people know
this when they buy a house. Councillor Jackson stated there are kids on every road and you
cannot start this.

8. RECREATION AND CULTURE COMMITTEE (Chris Olmstead)
E.
New/Unfinished Business
1. Swimming Lessons in Westmeath – request
Councillors did like the idea of having the two spots for swimming lessons, however it was hard to
get two lifeguards last year and that would make it that we would need four. Also the cost involved
would then double. Marsha did have some questions that she would like to look into first at
Nangor and will get back to council with them. Marsha did apply for the Federal Grant, hasn’t
heard anything yet.
Moved by Terry Millar, Seconded by Cathy Regier
2016-3336”Be it resolved that the Recreation and Culture Committee of the Township of Whitewater
Region recommends to Council that the summer Swimming Lessons Program be run at 2 locations
in 2016- at the municipally owned Beachburg Little Lakes Beach, and at Nangor Resort Beach in
partnership with the resort owners. This expansion of the program will require hiring 4 students to
cover the lifeguard and swim instructor duties for July and August.”

Carried by

9. ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES COMMITTEE (Daryl McLaughlin)
F.
1. Curbside yellow bag purchase program
Steve spoke regarding the yellow bags, as it was discussed in another meeting that Steve would need
to order more bags soon. After a discussion about whether or not to continue with the yellow bags or
go to use your own bags with a weight restriction and have your bag restriction of 2 bags per
104
household per week, council decided to try the 2 week per limit using your own bags. Steve
explained that we pay the contractor who drives around the same amount no matter how
many bags he picks up. It is hopeful that this way people will stop dumping garbage sides of roads,
dead ends and so forth. Steve will check how many yellow bags are left and then advertise when this
will become effective.
Moved by Cathy Regier, Seconded by Terry Millar
2016-3339”Be it resolved that the Environmental Services Department of the Township of Whitewater

Hey Christine,
This attached amending agreement between Product Care Association (PCA) and the Municipality needs to be signed in
order to claim funding for Pesticides, Solvents and Fertilizers we collect at our Hazardous Waste Events. Stewardship
Ontario always supplied funding for these products but like Paints & Coatings/ it is now in the hands of Product Care
Association.
We are already in an Agreement with PCA for Paints and Coatings (June 30th/ 2015). This amending agreement will now
place pesticides, solvents and fertilizers into the agreement. This should go to Council Meeting for the Mayor's
signature.
Thanks,

ISP Materials Collection Site Standards
Effective: June 30, 2015
To the extent that there is any conflict between these Product Care Association ISP Materials
Collection Site Standards and the requirements of applicable laws and regulations, the
requirements of applicable laws and regulations apply. The collection site operator is required to
comply with the requirements of the applicable laws and regulations. For greater certainty, in the
event that the Product Care Association standards impose requirements that are more stringent
or additional to the requirements of applicable laws and regulations but do not conflict with such
laws and regulations, the collection site operator is required to comply with the PCA standards
as well as with applicable laws and regulations
Background:
PCA operates the Industry Stewardship Plans (“ISPs”) to ensure certain hazardous and special
wastes are collected and recycled or otherwise safely disposed of in an environmentally
appropriate way.
Product Care Association was authorized by Waste Diversion Ontario to plan, implement and
operate the ISPs for paints and coatings and PSF, and the containers in which they are
contained as defined in the ISPs.
13
125
The ISPs, rules and material definition can all be viewed on the PCA website at
http://www.regeneration.ca//service-partner-support/ontario/
Purpose:
The ISP Collection Site Standards define the minimum operating requirements to qualify as a
Product Care Association collection site for ISP Materials. All locations wishing to act as a
collection site on behalf of PCA must be approved by PCA.
The ISP Collection Site Standards do not absolve collection sites from any federal, provincial
and/or municipal legislation and regulations applicable to their operation. It is the collection site’s
responsibility to be aware of, and abide by, all such legislation and regulations.
PCA reserves the right to review and revise these standards on an ongoing basis. The most
current version will be posted on the PCA website. PCA will, as a courtesy, provide notification
of changes to active collection sites for which it has current email addresses; however, it is the
collection site’s responsibility to regularly check the PCA website for revisions.
Who this applies to:
For the purposes of these standards, a Collection Site Operator means the operator of a
location at which ISP Materials are received from the public and/or a small quantity or IC&I
generator, or via the site’s internal operations from which a transporter will pick up ISP
Materials and transport it to an approved ISP Materials processor. These standards apply to
the following two types of collection sites:
1. Type 1 sites: Sites that receive a wide range of MHSW, and
2. Type 2 sites: Sites that collect only: Paints and coatings;

Collection site operators shall:
- Provide PCA with all reasonable information relating to these standards or any matter
that relates to the ISP or procedures of PCA;
- Acknowledge that PCA has a right of access to any and all such information
during normal business hours and on 24 hours’ notice.

To Council:
have worked in the Public Works Department for 17 years, am a good employee with
no blemishes on my record and have always tried to do my job to the best of my ability.
During these years I have had the privilege of parking my personal vehicle in the garage
during snow and freezing rain storms while I am out keeping the roads safe. As a
reward for my service this privilege has recently been taken away. My hope is that just
parking on municipal property doesn't become a liability or will have to park my vehicle
on the side of the road.
As a long time dedicated employee, I find this very disheartening and ask that you
please reconsider your decision.
Sincerely,

A THRIVING RURAL CANADA
RISING TO THE MOMENT IN FEDERAL BUDGET 2016
On February 18, the
Federation of Canadian
Municipalities (FCM) released
Cities and Communities:
Rising to the Moment, our
recommendations for the 2016
federal budget. This is a bold
plan to build Canada’s future
by investing in our communities
from coast to coast to coast.
The upcoming federal budget has the
potential to be transformative for rural
Canada. Canadian voters have endorsed
a sweeping communities-first agenda, and
municipalities are ready to partner with
the federal government to deliver results.
Our proposals move quickly to create local
jobs and growth based on local priorities.
In doing so, we’ll also be building a strong
foundation for long-term prosperity and more
livable communities in every region of this country.
To reach its nation-building potential, new federal
investments must benefit communities of all
sizes—delivering results for all Canadians. Through
FCM, rural communities have come together to
give voice to their priorities, diverse and shared.
A thriving Canada needs a thriving rural Canada.
This document highlights key recommendations
from Rising to the Moment to strengthen
Canada, community by community.
137
INVESTING IN RURAL COMMUNITIES
Rural communities are essential to
Canada’s economic, social and
environmental health—generating 30
per cent of GDP in sectors like agriculture,
manufacturing, transport and tourism.
But smaller communities also face
formidable challenges providing the public
infrastructure that sustains these local
economies and vibrant ways of life.
Rural communities need dedicated,
predictable funding to improve roads,
bridges, water systems, recreation facilities
and other public amenities. At the same
time, as federal social housing operating
agreements expire, we must confront the
housing affordability crisis that confronts
rural and small communities across Canada.
With a willing federal partner, local
governments are ready to go with
projects that respond to local needs
and realities. This is an opportunity to
create jobs in a period of slow growth,
boost productivity, and build livable
communities that can retain and attract
the talent rural Canada needs.
OUR RECOMMENDATIONS INCLUDE:
ƒƒ Double federal investment in the Small
Communities Fund, building on this
proven New Building Canada Fund
(NBCF) mechanism to support locallyprioritized rural infrastructure projects.
ƒƒ Optimize the Small Communities Fund for rural
Canada by empowering provinces and territories
to lower the 100,000 population threshold to
better reflect the size of communities in their
jurisdictions, as determined in consultation
with their municipal associations.
ƒƒ Invest in recreation and cultural facilities that can
be vital community hubs in rural areas—through
a new merit-based program within the proposed
Social Infrastructure Fund and by expanding
NBCF eligibility to include such projects.
ƒƒ Support rural affordable housing solutions,
starting by protecting federal social housing
investments and accelerating investments in the
capital repair and renewal of affordable housing.
ƒƒ Accelerate wastewater upgrades by ensuring
that eligibility for new Green Infrastructure Fund
investments includes upgrades to wastewater
treatment facilities and defective septic systems
in rural areas not served by municipal facilities.
138
FLEXIBILITY FOR RURAL COMMUNITIES
With access to just 8-10 cents of each
tax dollar, local governments shoulder
nearly 60 per cent of Canada’s public
infrastructure. They also face increasingly
complex additional responsibilities—
from public safety management to
climate change adaptation and a
growing array of community services.
All of this fuels a fiscal squeeze that can
reach extremes in rural communities
with lower ratepayer densities, often
compounded by youth out-migration.
The good news is that these municipalities
have an exceptional track-record of
assessing local priorities and delivering
effective solutions. That’s why predictable
investment tools like the Gas Tax Fund
have worked so well: they empower local
governments to do what they do best.
What these municipalities don’t have
is flexibility to deal with financial and
administrative bottlenecks. To get projects
moving, they need new flexibility from our
federal partner—flexibility that recognizes
rural expertise and rural challenges.
OUR RECOMMENDATIONS INCLUDE:
ƒƒ Make green infrastructure investment work
for rural Canada by ensuring project eligibility
includes rural priorities—such as stormwater
management (including culvert replacement);
drinking water, wastewater and septic system
upgrades; and extreme weather adaptations.
ƒƒ Increase the federal contribution to at least 50
per cent of total project costs—for all existing
cost-shared infrastructure programs—recognizing
local governments’ limited fiscal capacity.
ƒƒ Eliminate fund stacking restrictions that
punish smaller communities, empowering
local governments to get more infrastructure
projects moving faster by pooling
multiple sources of federal funding.
ƒƒ Adopt predictable funding mechanisms to
deliver new investments in green, social and
transit infrastructure (modelled on the Gas Tax
Fund), recognizing local governments’ expertise
in assessing local priorities and solutions.
ƒƒ Transfer uncommitted funds in existing
application-based federal infrastructure
programs directly to municipalities through
temporary top-ups of the federal Gas Tax Fund.
139
OUR RURAL VOICE IN NATION-BUILDING
Local governments foster economic
growth, create livable communities and
help keep us safe from crime and natural
emergencies. In so many diverse ways,
municipalities are guardians of everyday
economic and social life in this country.
Rural municipalities, in particular, serve
millions of Canadians living and working
in vast expanses of territory from coast to
coast to coast. They face unique dimensions
of national challenges, like the deepening
housing crisis. And they are at high risk
from emerging threats, including local
consequences of increasing climate change.
At this moment when the federal
government has committed to
community-building as nation-building,
rural municipalities must be full
partners in plotting the path forward.
It will take continuous dialogue to
build Canada’s future—with durable
growth and more livable communities.
Through FCM, rural Canada will continue
to have a full seat at the table.
While this dialogue must be expansive
and long-term, we have also highlighted
indispensable points of federal engagement
with rural communities for the coming year.
OUR RECOMMENDATIONS INCLUDE:
ƒƒ Incorporate the perspectives and needs of rural
municipalities in developing a national housing
strategy that includes a long-term and predictable
funding plan, with the goal of ensuring housing
that is affordable in communities of all sizes.
ƒƒ Work with FCM on effective strategies to
expand broadband access, aiming to close
the economically damaging urban-rural
gap, alongside the CRTC’s review of basic
telecommunications services for all Canadians.
ƒƒ Ensure a truly national and functional
Public Safety Broadband Network by
consulting rural communities in its design,
governance and implementation.
ƒƒ Engage local governments on expanding national
disaster mitigation strategies to cover the full
spectrum of disaster risks, including drought, forest
fires and emerging consequences of climate change.
ƒƒ Launch a review of changes to the Disaster
Financial Assistance Arrangements to prevent
an unfair burden from being placed on municipal
resources during the recovery from disasters.

Ottawa River Power funding or bridge
financing us.
would like to take this opportunity to
say thank you for all you do for our

I just spoke with one of our Trades Program Professors and mentioned the idea ofAlgonquin College Heritage
Trade students building a timber frame shade pavilion for Little Lakes.
I say "for" Little Lakes, as to his knowledge our students cannot build something off site but we could have the
timber frame pavilion shipped to the location and then put up by someone.
Costs would be only the cost of the materials, the shipment on a flatbed (township truck?) and putting up the
structure (township?)
They commence this project in 5 weeks, so you have sometime to ponder on this.
I think it's a great idea, as there is currently no shade available at Little Lakes, so even a small 12'xl2' open
concept building would added value to the area.
Regards,
Cameron.

To formally acknowledge the day/ Autism Ontario is inviting all municipalities to proclaim
April 2/ 2016 as World Autism Awareness Day and raise Autism Ontario's Flag on Monday/
April 4th, 2016 due to weekend office closures on the official day.

about Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)/ and the day-to-day issues faced by people with autism
and their families.
If your community is interested in supporting autism awareness by participating in Autism
Ontario's "Raise the Flag" campaign on April 4,2016, please return the attached RSVP form by

Last year we requested that municipalities keep the flag for future use. We have a limited

RSVP form if you require one.
The March 11,2016 registration deadline will allow us to mail out flags to those who need it/
and to advertise through our communication channels that your municipality will be
participating. We recognize municipalities have a formal approval process for recognizing
charitable proclamations and flag raisings/ and may not be able to register by the deadline. If
this is the case we still invite you to proclaim the day and raise a flag/ if you have one. Please
notify us of your participation by emaUing rtf^autismontario.com.

Dear Premier:
Re: Town of Aurora Council Resolution of January 26,201 6
Re: Motion (a) Ontario Municipal Board Jurisdiction
Please be advised that this matter was heard by Council at its Council meeting held on

WHEREAS the Town of Aurora spends an incredible amount of resources
and taxpayer money developing an Official Plan; and

and
WHEREAS it is within the legislative purview of Municipal Council to
approve Official Plan amendments or Zoning By-law changes that better the
community or fit within the vision of the Town of Aurora Official Plan; and
WHEREAS it is also within the legislative purview of Municipal Council to
deny Official Plan amendments or Zoning By-law changes that do not better
the community or do not fit within the vision of the Town of Aurora Official
Plan; and
WHEREAS planning decisions may be appealed to the Ontario Municipal
Board ("0MB"), an unelected, appointed body that is not accountable to the
residents of Aurora; and
WHEREAS appeals of 0MB decisions are limited to questions of law, not the
findings of facts in a case; and
WHEREAS all decisions-save planning decisions-made by Municipal
Council are similarly only subject to appeal by judicial review and such
appeals are limited to questions of law;

Township ofWhitewater Region
44 Main Street
Cobden, Ontario
KOJ 1KO
Attn: Mr. Hal Johnston, Mayor
Township ofWhitewater Region
Dear Mayor Johnston
Re:
Muskrat Watershed Council
We are sending this letter in order to clarify the goal and mission of the Muskrat Watershed Council in light of
recent comments from Whitewater Council at their meeting on March 2, 2016, as reported in the local media. We
would also like to request that Whitewater Council nominate an individual from the public who would be willing to
sit on the Board of Directors for the Muskrat Watershed Council and serve in an information and liaison role with
the Township.
The goal of the Muskrat Watershed Council is to improve water quality in MuskratLake andtheMuskrat
Watershed. Our mission is to engage with people and communities on efforts to identify and reduce nutrient
loading from all sources on the Muskrat Watershed. We seek to understand how past decisions and current
practices continue to impact our watershed, and in particular, water quality in Muskrat Lake, not as an effort to lay
blame, but to help us find reasonable, achievable and affordable solutions that will contribute to a better future.
We cannot do this alone. We seek partnerships with municipal, provincial and federal levels, with industry,
educational institutions and the science community and other communities.
Most importantly, we value with our municipal partners such as the Township of Whitewater Region to seek winwin solutions. We appreciate the support that Whitewater Council has provided in the past and would like to
continue this partnership into the future. It is therefore troubling to learn from the local media that one or more of
your Council members have "issues" with the Muskrat Watershed Council.
The Muskrat Watershed Council is comprised of dozens of volunteers who put in countless hours of work toward
achieving tangible solutions for improving water quality. Much of this good work goes unreportedtothe local
Municipal Councils and the media. In order to improve communications between the Township of Whitewater
Region and the Muskrat Watershed Council, we request that Township Council nominate an individual to sit on our
Board of Directors so that we can better represent the interests of all residents in the Muskrat Watershed. This
appointment would strengthen our relationship by keeping the Township of Whitewater Region informed on the
activities of our organization and help us to partner on funding applications that have a benefit to the community.
It is harmful to our watershed council to have people issue comments, which imply that perhaps there is something
amiss with our organization. This makes it more difficult as it is to get people and the community involved. If
anyone has issues with something involving the Muskrat Watershed Council, it is best to come to us for the
answers, not to mention them to the press.
Please feel free to contact any one of us, at any time. We really do want to work together on these difficult issues.
Thank You,
Karen Coulas, Interm Chair

On behalf of the Council of the Township ofWhitewater Region, we wish to thank Minister Murray for receiving our
delegation at the OGRA/ROMA Conference in Toronto in February. The Township welcomed the opportunity to discuss
the environmental challenges that we're facing with Muskrat Lake as we work to identify the best solutions to solving
the nutrient loading and algal bloom problems. Mayor Johnson and Councillor Mackay will soon be meeting with the
Muskrat Watershed Council/ a community group of volunteers, to update them on the delegation discussion and
continue the conversation of best practices to search for funding to implement projects that will improve the water
quality of Muskrat Lake.
